THE PRIMARY &nbspUPPER LOW WILL REMAIN OVER HUDSON BAY, WITH TWO MAIN SHORTWAVE &nbspTROUGHS MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHEAST. A MOIST AND &nbspMARGINALLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL EXIST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT ACROSS &nbspTHE SOUTHEAST, WITH THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY OVER FLORIDA AND PERHAPS &nbspSOUTHERN GEORGIA. INCREASING WIND FIELDS NEAR A COLD FRONT SHOULD &nbspRESULT IN ORGANIZED STORM ACTIVITY, A FEW OF WHICH COULD BE SEVERE. &nbspELSEWHERE, STABLE AIR WILL PRECLUDE STORM DEVELOPMENT. &nbsp&nbsp &nbsp..FLORIDA &nbsp &nbspA FRONT WHICH EXTENDS ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA AS OF THURSDAY WILL &nbspGRADUALLY SHIFT NORTHWARD ON FRIDAY AS SOUTHERLY WINDS INCREASE &nbspAHEAD OF THE AMPLIFYING SHORTWAVE TROUGH. EPISODES OF THUNDERSTORMS &nbspARE LIKELY DURING THE DAY NEAR THE STALLED PORTION OF THE FRONT OVER &nbspTHE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO, WITH PERHAPS A FEW ELEVATED SHOWERS AND &nbspSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN FLORIDA INTO SOUTHERN GEORGIA. THE PRIMARY &nbspRISK WILL DEVELOP FRIDAY NIGHT AS WIND FIELDS INCREASE, AND THE &nbspFRONT ACCELERATES INTO SATURDAY MORNING. MODELS CURRENTLY HAVE &nbspSUBSTANTIAL SPREAD IN TERMS OF FRONTAL POSITION, AND THE MAIN &nbspSHORTWAVE TROUGH ENERGY WILL REMAIN WELL TO THE WEST, PRECLUDING A &nbspSLIGHT RISK AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY &nbspORGANIZE ALONG THE FRONT, WITH 50+ KT 850 MB FLOW AND MODEST &nbspLOW-LEVEL VEERING WITH HEIGHT SUPPORTING A QLCS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING &nbspWINDS OR ISOLATED/BRIEF TORNADOES, PRIMARILY ACROSS WESTERN PARTS OF &nbspTHE STATE AS STORMS COME ASHORE. &nbsp &nbsp..JEWELL.. 12/07/2017 &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp
